Foncepi, a member of the RF Group with a legacy dating back to 1922, is a Brazilian manufacturer and exporter specialized in high-purity carnauba wax. We serve as a primary supply partner for anhydrous cosmetic manufacturers, providing the raw material stability and technical consistency required for complex oil-based formulations and high-performance beauty products.
Our expertise in processing the Copernicia prunifera palm wax allows us to support formulators in selecting the appropriate grade and physical form to meet specific sensory and structural needs. Whether your application requires consistent melting points or specific color profiles for lipsticks, balms, or anhydrous serums, please contact our team to discuss your project requirements and request a formal quote.
Selecting the Correct Carnauba Grade for Anhydrous Systems
Anhydrous cosmetic formulations require raw materials that provide predictable consistency and stability without the interference of water. Foncepi supplies Type 1 and Type 3 carnauba wax, each offering distinct characteristics that influence the final formulation’s hardness, gloss, and melting behavior. Understanding the role of the acid value and melting range is essential when selecting the appropriate grade for your specific anhydrous base.
The color Gardner index is a critical factor for manufacturers, particularly in color cosmetics where the natural hue of the wax can impact the final product shade. We encourage technical teams to analyze our available specifications, including moisture levels and saponification values, to ensure compatibility with your existing supply chain and formulation standards.
Physical Forms for Efficient Cosmetic Processing
Foncepi provides carnauba wax in various physical forms, including flakes and powder, to accommodate different manufacturing and melting equipment. For anhydrous applications, the choice between flakes and powder often depends on the ease of incorporation into oil-heated vessels and the required dissolution rate during the manufacturing process.
Our powdered presentations are available with specific granulometry, such as 95% passing through a 100 mesh or 200 mesh sieve. These options provide the necessary surface area for efficient integration into waxes and oils. We invite your production team to specify the required granulation to ensure our supply matches your current process parameters and quality requirements.
Logistics and Industrial Packaging Solutions
Reliable logistics are a priority for manufacturers sourcing raw materials for the cosmetic industry. Foncepi offers flexible packaging solutions, including 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags, designed to maintain the integrity of the wax during transport and storage. These options are structured to support both mid-scale pilot batches and full-scale industrial production cycles.
When planning your procurement, consider the handling capabilities of your facility and the volume requirements for your upcoming production runs. We work with clients to define the best packaging configuration and shipment volume, ensuring that our logistics strategy aligns with your operational efficiency and safety standards for raw material management.
Technical Documentation and Quality Compliance
For cosmetic manufacturers, documentation such as the Certificate of Analysis (COA), Technical Data Sheet (TDS), and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is vital for internal homologation and regulatory compliance. Foncepi provides the necessary documentation for our batches, enabling your quality and regulatory teams to assess our raw material against your established internal specifications and safety protocols.
We support a transparent qualification process for our partners in the cosmetic sector. By providing clear technical data, we assist your team in validating our carnauba wax for your formulations. We recommend that you reach out to our commercial department to share your specific technical requirements and request the updated documentation relevant to your next acquisition.
Conclusion
Foncepi offers the industrial expertise and product consistency necessary to serve the needs of anhydrous cosmetic manufacturers worldwide. By focusing on high-quality carnauba wax, we ensure our partners have the reliable raw material needed to maintain the excellence of their own product lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the differences between Type 1 and Type 3 carnauba wax for cosmetic use?
The primary differences lie in the color Gardner index and impurity levels. Type 1 is generally lighter and more refined, making it suitable for high-end color cosmetics, while Type 3 offers a different color profile suitable for a variety of anhydrous formulations depending on your specific visual and sensory requirements.
Can Foncepi provide technical documentation for internal quality homologation?
Yes. We provide the Certificate of Analysis, Technical Data Sheet, and Safety Data Sheet for our products. These documents contain the necessary parameters, such as melting range and acid value, to support your quality and regulatory team in the material qualification process for your cosmetic formulations.
How should I choose between 100 mesh and 200 mesh powder for my formulation?
The choice depends on your specific manufacturing equipment and the required dissolution rate. A 200 mesh powder provides a finer particle distribution than 100 mesh, which may facilitate faster incorporation into your oil phase. Please consult your production team to confirm which granulation best suits your heating and mixing process.
What are the standard packaging options available for export?
We offer our carnauba wax in 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags. These options are designed to facilitate storage and handling at your facility. During the quotation process, we will help you determine the most suitable configuration based on your order volume and logistical constraints.
